Lately I've revisited some of my LPs from the early CTi years. The past couple of days, I've been listening to "We and the Sea" and got to thinking about the so-called lost single from the unreleased third album (the 45 with "California Soul" and "Berimbau." The reason I bring this up is because I vaguely remember hearing, or maybe even reading, a while back that the group broke off from production before finishing the scheduled sessions for that album. Something about differences in artistic opinion that seemed to push them and Creed Taylor farther away from each other. The reason I ask all of this is because the members later returned to Brazil, like Luiz Eça, and flourished once again. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Or do you think it was just the lack of commercial success that brought them down, and Creed might have simply told them "it's over" and shelved the tapes?
